Today we are seeing the beginning of a revolution in the practice of mainstream psychiatry and conventional medicine. Nutritional methods have allowed tens of thousands of people to successfully recover from mental conditions such as schizophrenia and depression.
A Message of Hope presents three touching stories of recovery by former patients suffering from such terribly debilitating "mental" illness as schizophrenia and dementia. Statistics of recovery are included as well as a general overview of the pioneering protocol developed by Dr. Abram Hoffer, MD, PhD, who began this form of treatment over 40 years ago.
Practitioners using natural treatments report an 80-85% rate of great improvement or recovery, which is in stark contrast to the usual expectations with conventional treatments. Nutrient-based methods also generally foster the health of both brain and body, while avoiding the brain suppression and side affects that commonly occur with the conventional medical approach.
Evidence? "There is considerable literature in certain areas of natural medicine ... this is research done by mainstream research scientists, at universities, with medical schools...." quote from video by Jonathan V. Wright, MD

Natural Medicine Handbook for People Over 50
Compiled by Merrily Manthey, MS
Current mainstream medical research
for common illness briefly described in the easy-to-read 48-page booklet.
Superb at treating some conditions, possibly unparalleled in responding to victims of trauma and infectious disease, conventional medicine fails miserably with and is grossly inappropriate for other problems, such as complex, multifaceted chronic conditions. Natural medicine, seeking to treat the root cause of illness and disease, is demonstrating to the powerful role it can play with the chronic problem.
Dangerous Side Effects and Drug Interactions
The unintended side effects of a treatment, procedure, or drug, as well as the effects from the interactions of multiple medications, are especially important to families with senior citizens.
Seniors are more likely than other segments of the population to be affected by the inappropriate use and interactions of prescription drugs. It has been shown that seniors are at greater risk from adverse drug reactions than others. For example, one study estimated the percentage of hospitalizations of senior patients due to adverse drug reactions to be 17 percent, almost six times greater than for the general population (Internal Medicine, April 1990).
"The medical profession is slowly becoming aware that there are legitimate alternatives to drugs and surgery. As the research and data supporting natural medicine continue to increase, and as the limitations and dangers of conventional medicine become more widely appreciated, natural medicine will emerge as the only reasonable alternative." -- Alan R.Gaby, MD
